Good 100-200 people up here

5-3 for .55 to start 3rd....

I think 29.50 or something online. Probably 32 walk-up

Too much, but decent crowd here.

Might be top 3 for games this season

I was thinking of buying a ticket when you posted that special @ $11. Stupid me.

For others: Quinnipiac leading in shots on goal, 20-16 at the end of the second. 10-10, 10-6.

I wish every game was on espn3

Quinnipiac scores to make it 2-0 in the 3rd period.

 

[ct06111]

Scoring has disappeared.

Shut out twice in the last 2 games

Long break has not helped

 

[Bomber36]

That was a disinterested effort. Not good.

Cavanaugh's coaching seems to be producing an elitist mindset. Sacred Heart, ironically, plays with more heart.

They have no reason to feel elite....that was a piss poor performance. I actually left with 5 minutes remaining. First time ever. But I agree with you. Very disappointing start to the second half.

 

[Bomber36]

I knew it.....he’s a genius!

 

[Husk1881]

Worst power play effort I've ever seen. 3 v 5 and they burned it by just passing around the perimeter. The lack ofwell placed and on target shots was much worse than the number suggested.

 

[The Viking]

Their power play stunk at BC as well. A lot of passing around the perimeter with few good shots. The 5 on 3 was piss poor. They had many PP chances tonight and couldn't get many quality shots at all.

Brutal.

 

[Sea Goat]

Seems more and more that late November - early December solid play was a fluke... Coach Cav needs to come up with something fast. 8 - 13 - 2 doesn't cut it for a 5th year coach.

3,852. Looked like more than that.

PP has stunk the past 2 games while it was really good prior to break. Got like 1-2 shots off on that 5-3???

I agree way too much preimeter passing and not enough movement of defensemen for a shot. I know passing is supposed to get the D to move, but it almost like they're afraid to shoot. Get it on net, create a rebound/other movement for better opportunities.


Still pissed that Murray missed that obvious trip by goalie shortridge.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Should have been peppering them on the 5-3. When it was 1-0 I didn't see enough desperation in our play. They pepped up after it got to 2-0 but it was over at that point.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Could also be taking the puck to the net more; we had a lot of room last night to maneuver in front of QU's goal and instead we'd try to force a pass through a maze of legs/sticks..

 

[freescooter]

I thought it was a flat effort and it extended to the crowd too. To much holiday partying I guess. Really poor flat performance.

Is it me or is Huska not quite living up to the hype? He is fine but seems very technical. No fire and never seems to steal one.
